Digital-Electronic AR Rifle Trigger

Shouldn't be hard to hack and have your options at the trigger opened up....and what the ATF will probably state

Only buying if it posts on Facebook after every shot.

So they basically took an e-trigger from a paintball gun and modified it into an ar platform. I have seen this done and work very well in a 10/22 platform so I Dont see why it wouldn't work with a ar. Untill it has a malfunction and the computer but messes up and gets stuck and you then have a run away with no way of shutting it down.

One trigger pull for each round fired.
Why wouldn't an electronic trigger be OK?

While i have no clue how their system works i could see the atf using the old "readily convertable" reasoning on denying its use and possible conversion to a machine gun.

This was my first thought as well.

I was about to say that...this is nothing new.
Paintball guns have been doing this for over 10 years....

The Russians or Chinese will hack it from afar and cause your gun to fire at their maniacal whim. That's what the voices in CNN and Feinstein heads will say. But the Russians will program those voices, too, so, just sayin'.

Every time an electronic trigger appears (EtronX, CVA Electra, Voere, etc), there's usually a chorus of "that's stupid", "extra point of failure", "what if my batteries run out", "mechanical systems never fail", etc. Some of those concerns are valid and some are not.

Anyway, this has the usual problem that semi-autos and electronic triggers are frowned upon by the ATF. And even if the ATF approves it, the trigger quality of this specific model is garbage.

I like the idea. I wonder how well it works when the electronics gets wet.
